STEAM OR WATER HEATER.

Specification ofLtters Patent.

Patented April 9, 1907.

Application filed March 23. 1906. Serial No. 307,719.

Tol a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. OBERLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Can ton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steam or 'Vater Heaters; and l do hereby declare that the following is a l'ull, clear, and exact description ot' the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the numerals and ligures of reference marked thereon., in whieh- Figure 1 is a perspective view of' my complete de vice, showing parts broken away. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a top view of the heater and air-pipes, showing the upper plate removed.

The present invention has relation to steam or water heaters; and it consists in the novel arrangement hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the iigures of the drawings.

-In the accompanying drawings, 1 represents. the lower or base section ot the heater, which may be of any desired size, reference being had to the amount of heat designed to be produced. llfithin the casing or base. section 1, or in close proximity thereto, is located the fuel-tank '2, which may be of any suitable construction, inasmuch as the tank within itself forms no particular part of the present invention. From the lower part 3 of the tank 2 leads the supply-pipe 4, which is connected to the burner 5, which burner within itself does not form any particular part of the present invention, except a burner of some kind must necessarily be employed. Directly above the burner 3 is located the flue 6, which flue is surroundedvby the lower tapered portion of the water-casing 7, which water-casing is extended upward to produce the upper water-chamber or what might be termed the upper portion of one continuous water-chamber lVithin the water-chamber are located the pipes S and 9. Pipe 9 is of loop form, communicating at its ends with the flue 6 and extending upwardly therefrom. The pipes 8 communicate with the loop at its upper portion and extend laterally therefrom through the water-chamber easing, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Said pipes S and 0 are submerged in the water contained in the water-chamber. Radiating-tubes 11 comnninicaie with the water-chamber and at its upper portion and extend upwardly therefrom.

The object and purpose of providing the tapered casing 7 is to decrease the volume of water in the lower portion of the waterchamber, and thereby provide ,for better heating the water in the upper portion of the water-chamber, but at the same time utilize the entire amount of radiating-surface of the 'line 6.

For the purpose of providing means for regulating the lulrner from time to time the easing 1 is provided with the door 12 and the casing 7 with the door 13, and for the purpose of providing means for holding the wat-er contained in the chamber 7 the side and top flanges 14.a are provided, which are of course connected to the casing 7 in such a manner that no leakage will take place.

For the purpose of filling the water-chamber Jfrom time to time the supply-pipe 14 is provided. The radiator is supplied with the ordinary vent 16. lt will be understood that the radiator should be properly covered by the cap or plate 17, which iits over the radiator in the u su al manner.

For the purpose oi' providing a means for removing the fuel-tank 2 trom time to time the door 18 is provided. For the purpose of giving proper draft the bottom or lower end of the liuc 6 is open, and for the purpose of eu tting oil' the water contained in the Waterchamber the top or upper end of the tube is closed.

Having hilly described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of a base-section, a water chamber casing supported thereon, a burner located within said base-section, a vertical flue located over the burner and Within the water-chamber and provided with a closed upper end, a draft-pipe of loop form communicating at its ends with the vertical IOO extending oftake-pipes communicating said draft-pipe at opposite sides thereof and at the portion of the loop opposite to the Ver.- 5 tical Hue, substantially as and for Athe purpose specified. l

In testimony that I claim the above I have J. A; JEFFERS, F. W. BOND.
